Absolutely love the look of the Nightster; would love to have a rigid mount 883R to work up.
Once on my '01 an old guy come up to me in the parking lot and asks "Did you restore it yourself?"

Sportster = *the* classic American motorcycle....to me, anyway. I've caught myself saying to my friends, "It just looks like a bike should." really.
But I could find myself saying that about several bikes, though.
if by category:
(super)sport = Kawasaki ZX-14 or Ducati 1098, both just drip with style
dual-purpose = BMW R1200GS Adventure or Aprilia Caponord
urban/naked = Ducati Monster (any one of 'em) or Bimota DB6 or Kawasaki Versys
touring = Road King (any FL, really)

i love the sportys, it was my first street bike. But it just didnt seem to fit me well,(im 6ft, i know there are bigger guys that ride them) on long rides. After i rode the bike in my sig, i bought it off my dad. Fits me perfect. But i keep looking in the ads for a old sporty project. They are deff my fav bike.

I personally love the classic look. Both cars and bikes if I am honest.If I hadn'tpurchased the Sportster (2007 1200L), I would probably have bought a Triumph Bonneville. The perfect, classic bike look that comes to mind for me are theold WWII army bikes (from any nation)- Steve McQueen in The Great Escape sorta look. Tough, loud, go-anywhere workhorses. I think that the olive green and blackNightster comes close to my perfect look for a bike. I'm sticking with my Cobalt blue 1200L for nowthough ...

In my opinion a sportster with a peanut tank is the bare bones essence of what a motorcycle is all about.....I have always liked the no nonsense look of a sportster, whether its an old ironhead bike, a evolution model etc.....Simplicity kinda makes the bike cool !
